About This Quiz
A lot of people have a family dog growing up as part of that archetypal family unit. Mom, dad, 2.3 kids and a pup. It's like "The Simpsons." A nice companion for the kids that maybe you play fetch with in the yard sometimes. A friend who sleeps on the foot of your bed. A protector who barks at prowlers at the window. It can be a fun and rewarding experience and one that makes you want to get a dog when you grow up and have your own family.
For other people, there are no dogs when they're growing up because maybe there were allergies, overwhelmed parents, or just no interest. So you get to experience a dog later in life and find out that you love them. However it is that you come to love having a dog as a pet, we all end up with that same feeling. Dogs are pretty great. But there are sooooooo many kinds! Little pugs, big boxers, fast greyhounds, strong German shepherds, loyal Basset hounds, sassy Chihuahuas. How does anyone pick just one dog? On the other hand, who said you needed to pick one? Why not two? Three? How many dogs should you get? Take the quiz and find out!
